5. Comments
Both the sand samples arrived as sandstones. Jaw crushing and a roller mill were used to break down the sandstones. The single particle sand was washed and dried. However, after drying, sand clusters still remained. Attrition scrubbing was performed, with a mild acid and water, and then the sand was washed and dried a second time.
A good portion of each sample (washed 50/140) was sent for XRF testing. The results showed a pure silica sand, with both samples at 98% and higher in silica content. This means that this sand could be of value in a variety of industries.
Sieve analysis was performed on both samples.

Notes:
Wet sieve analysis is performed by washing the material over a 200 mesh sieve, in order to remove all the silt and any vegetation. Then, the material is dried at 250F and weighedafter the drying. The percent lost during the wet sieve can then be calculated.
ISO 13503-2/API RP19C, Section 7, “Proppant Sphericity and Roundness”
Sphericity is a measure of how close a proppant particle approaches the shape of a sphere. Roundness is a measure of the relative sharpness of the corners of curvature. APIRP-56 recommends a sphericity of 0.6 or greater and a roundness of 0.6 or greater for frac sand. The proppant should not be considered suitable if it contains 1% or more by count of clusters of multiple sand grains.
ISO 13503-2/API RP19C, Section 8, “Acid Solubility”
The solubility of a proppant in 12:3 HCl:HF is an indication of the amount of soluble materials (i.e. carbonates, feldspars, iron oxides, clays, etc) present in the proppant. API 56 recommends a maximum solubility of 2.0% by weight for 6/12 through 30/50 sized sand, and 3.0% by weight for 40/70 through 70/140 frac sand.
ISO 13503-2/API RP19C, Section 9, “Turbidity Test”
Turbidity tests measure an optical property of a suspension that results from the scatteringand absorption of light by the particulate matter suspended in the wetting fluid. The higher the turbidity number the more suspended particles are present. API 56 recommends a turbidity of frac sand of 250 FTU (Formazine Turbidity Unit) or less.
ISO 13503-2/API RP19C, Section 11, “Proppant Crush-Resistance Test”
From API Recommended Practice 56: Stress to be applied for initial crush testing, and suggested maximum fines for frac sand

The highest stress level at which a proppant generates no more than 10% crushed material, rounded down to the nearest 1,000 psi is the “K-value.”
